Transcriber’s Note:

Footnotes were renumbered sequentially and moved to the end of the chapter or appendix section to which they pertain. The [anchor] for Footnote 189 was missing in the original and was added where it seemed likely that it belonged.

In [Footnote 156], a period is contained within the superscript and was left unchanged. Other superscripts used to abbreviate words sometimes display one or more periods below the superscripted letters. Multiple periods were changed to a single period, and the period was moved to follow the abbreviated word. In some e-book readers, superscripts may not be raised.

On page 274, the word [‘Cachet’] appears inside a circle, as though to represent an official stamp.

Within quotations, misspelled words, missing punctuation, and alternate use of accents were not changed. Otherwise, accents were adjusted, unprinted periods were added to ends of sentences, missing spaces were added between words, missing open quote marks were added to the beginning of quotations continued from one paragraph to the following, and punctuation in the index was adjusted for consistency.
